  • mythtv-setup
    • General: keep settings as they are, set 0000 as PIN (completely useless).
    • capture cards: make sure you choose MPEG-2 encoder card. Exit with ESCAPE.
    • Video sources: choose "no grabber". Call it jj.
    • Input connections: make sure [ MPEG : /dev/video0 ] (television) -> jj appears. Exit with ESCAPE
